Dear Jeyamohan,
The answer to the question about ritual, faith, and wisdom is precise and satisfying. This is the main question asked by commoners at all levels of life. Generally, we have a fear of knowledge. “All educated people are bad” is one of the famous sayings we often quote. This same belief exists in Christianity, which is why we are often skeptical about learning and knowledge. However, we are in an era where learning is a natural process of life. If you are learning everything through logic and having faith only in subjective matters like religion and spirituality, it is nothing more than a myth. Logic will prevail at every level and will undoubtedly challenge your faith. Today, faith should be enriched by logic; that is, knowledge. You explained it clearly.
